An Aneodote OF nfodissks.

"One day., said Count Rozenta late
~, in telling an anecdOte of Polish life,
II staid at home during the forenoon
and went on with the ladies at midday.
About half mile from the meeting
place my wife left us and struck out to
walk alone, while we drove on, A
headache was given as an excuse for
her absence when we Joined my broth
er Ralph and the others, and we began
our picnic, We had hardly begun to
eat when we saw an old peasant wom-
an approach, her feet incased in clumsy
sabots and her hands wrapped in her
apron. Rather timidly she drew near
my brother and whined out long story
OF her woes. Her pig, it seemed. had
trespassed in one of my brothers fields
and the bailiff had impounded it. She
came to ask whether she could not have
it back without paying the fine re-
quired by the stony-hearted bailiff. Ny
brother referred her to the latter, but
she did not seem satisfied, and in her
cultural patois told and retold her
story. Finding he could not shake her
off my brother finally grew angry and
called to the cOachnan to drag her
away. The man was just about to
obey the order when the old woman
threw herself into my brothers. arms,
crying, why, Joe, don't you know
meP' My brother stared in astonish-
ment, and then his emotion overcame
him and he incontinently tumbled into
a ditch. We pulled him out and had a
good laugh over the success of my
wife's trick. 1t was really extraordi-
nary. In the full glare of day she had
deceived her brother-in-law, her son,
and / have no doubt would have taken
in her husband also had he not helped
to plan the affair"

Randolph in his Robe of State

Lord Randolph Churchill appeared
in his ''robe of state at the pricking
of the sheriffs. This robe is SO gilded
that it costs about $1,000, and it is
only worn twice year by chancellor
of the exehequer. 1t is the custom for
one chancellor to hand the robe over
to his successor. who pays few hun
dred pounds for the use of it, which is
recOuped to him when he leaves office
by the incoming chancellor. Mr.. Dis
raeli, however, when he ceased to be
chancellor of the exchequer, refused to
sell his robe to Mr.. Gladstone. Why,
was not known, unless he contemplate
ed his heirs parting with it at a better
price to Nine. Tussaud, or that he
wished (being a lover of tinsel) to ar
ray himself in it occasionally at Hugh
enden for his private delecthtion. A
new robe had therefore to be purchased.
1t must have been somewhat short in
the skirts for Sir William Harcourt, or
somewhat long in the skirts for Lord
Randolph. London Truth.

Triumph of the Pretty school sfa'am


In school section in Northumber-
land county, where young lady is
engaged as teacher, there has been
quite q dispute as to whether it would
be prudent to re-engage her or not. 1t
was claimed that she had too many
admirers of the opposite sex, and that
the section had thus been deprived of
a portion of her time that should have
been spent in the discharge of her
duties as teacher. Accordingly at
the school meeting the trustees had an
agreement drawn up to the effect that
she should not keep company during
the coming year with any young men
during school hours, as her undivided
time should be devoted to the school.
Upon her refusing to sign this agree
ment it was decided to leave it TO a
vote of the meeting as to whether she
should be compelled to sign it or not,
A show of hands was taken, and it re-
suited in tie, when the chairman, be-
ing young man, gave the casting vote
in her favOF.-1OToHt0 Globe.

into print" but there is every reason to be-
lieve that the entrance into N adjoining pew
Of belated conner during the singing of the
sopranos sweetest notes, or at the moment the
pastor is announcing his text is equally as
irritating to the sensitive listener as obscuring
the sight Of the stage or tue loss Of the heavy
Williams threat can be to the early occupant
of seat at the theater
AS for tho minister himself, he must, at
least, be as conscious of the interruption as
the "star" upon the stage and to have atten-
ton drawn from one Of his best 'hits" must
be quite as trying to one as the other. There
is an excuse, too, for the late theater-goers
which does not apply to the others. So far
as the female offenders in this line are con-
cerned, they are, as rule, arrayed in their
best attire, and, as every one knows, this
process takes time. If they are late at opera
or theater, they are consoled with the pre-
sumably-blissful consciousness that their
bright array is dazzling all beholders Snowy
effort to make pleasing appearance might
reasonably be accepted as an offset for the in
terruptions. At church, on the contrary, a
display of fine garments is vulgarity, and to
be late, evidently because Of the time absorbed
in donning them, is reprehensible The least
the tardy one can do to mitigate the offense is
to seek a bench near the door, instead of one
in the "amen" corner.
In Dr. John Halls church, in New York,
this evil has been effectually done away with
by the simple expedient of closing the doors
when the services begin, and the foolish vir-
gins who seek admittance after that can reflect
| upon the words:
100 late! too late! Ye cannot enter here!"
1t is plan which might be tried elsewhere to
| the advantage of all concerned.

And sitting lonely thus watch the glow,

When in its light, met so long ago
We met and kissed day.
look along the roaG--no shadow falls:
My heart beats fast but still fond voice calls.
Only rustic in the dim. wide halls
Where ghosty curtains sway
IF from their depths you should forth tonight
And touching mouth aud eyes with kisses light,
Could heal my wounds and give me life and sight,
What should dare to sayl
Could dare tell thee of the weary years
Bereft of JOY. the eyes grown dim with tears
The fainting heart bowed down with bitter fears2
This only could say.
Only the four fond words II love thee still"
With ali a woman's dover of strength and will.
While life shall last while pulses throb and thrill,
love thee, that day.
All mel no whisper wakes, no kisses fall.
Only the shadows fill the darkening hall;
Thou art at rest, ard I, IN Iife's sad thrall
Must work, and weep, and pray
When all the long sad years have past me rolled
Shall silver locks shine again as gold
Shall be young who have grown tired and DID,
Whei. we shall meet-one dayl

Shadows.
As though I went by reckoning hands close hidden,
neared, when one answers calling fond.
The curtain by which There from Here is hidden
It's mesh grew gauzy, and saw beyond
Against its my eyes stared straight ant
strongly,
The soul of sight searching past warp and wool,
Until could not think my gaze had wrongly
Led me to see of afterlife proof.
/ seemed to see stir of wings light smitten,
And welcome waving of white. shining hands,
But misty as the summers message written
On quvering air above the sun-steeped lands.
And then, as though by mysterious tension,
The warp and wool grew close my gaze before,
And darkness fell beyond. with quick descension,
And stir of wings and hands saw no more.

LATE COMERS AT CHURCH.

Mention has been made in the Journal Of
|the popularity Of the masculine nature which
leads it to revie the feminine bonnet when
hat article of apparel and adornment is seen
1t the tLeater, and to sit meekly and uncom-
plainingly behind that same bonnet when it
aisports itself in the house of the Lord. A
similar phenomenon is noticeable in the dis.
position shown by the nervous and critical Of
both sexes to denounce late corners to the
iheater, and the placidity with which they OBJ
serve and even practice tardy entrance to
shurch. Newspapers everywhere open their
solumns to theater-goers who seek to air the
yoes they suffer from the people who rustic
down the aisles in the middle of the first act,
but it is in vain to search their pages for pro-
tests against the attendants at divine services
who interrupt proceedings a quarter of an
hour or 20 after they have begun. Possibly
This may be accounted for on the theory that
the latter class of sufferers are patient and
much enaaring, and not given to rushing
